VAL-SQ NP…
Data sheet
© PHOENIX CONTACT 2014-02-14
1Description
The VAL-SQ NP… surge protective device (SPD) provides
whole-house surge protection in a panel-mount, pluggable
form factor. A high-energy suppression circuit provides
32 kA of surge current protection per phase. Each surge
suppression mode has over-current and thermal fusing for
safety.
The VAL-SQ NP… has the same footprint as two standard
1-inch pitch circuit breakers to allow installation inside a
standard 1-inch pitch load center. Operating status lights are
easily observed and provide verification of protection.
The replaceable plug of the VAL-SQ NP… allows a
homeowner to safely replace the surge protection plug if it
reaches end of life. All other products of this type require a
skilled electrician to replace the surge components at end of
life.
The VAL-SQ NP… is suitable for single-phase 120/240
applications with common or separate neutral and ground.
2Features
– 32 kA surge current capacity per phase protects against
high-energy lightning strikes and transient voltages
– Initial installation by a certified electrician; plug
replacement by homeowner
– UL nominal surge discharge current (I
N
) rating of 10 kA
– LEDs provide continuous feedback on the status of
each phase
– UL 1449 3
rd
edition classified
Confirm the SPD voltage rating on the module or nameplate label is the same as the operating voltage.
Risk of electric shock. Disconnect power before installing or servicing. Service to be performed by qualified
personnel only.

DANGER:
Remove all power to the load center before
installing or servicing. Hazardous voltages can
cause death or severe personal injury.
Always follow federal and local regulations during
installation. Apply appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE) and follow electrical
work practices.
All work must be performed by qualified and
authorized personnel.
Never open SPD. No serviceable parts are inside.
WARNING:
This equipment depends upon an effective
ground. Failure to obtain a quality ground
connection may result in explosion or arc flash.
Do not install if the maximum service amperage
(panel size) is greater than 200 A.
NOTE:
Megger
®
or high potential tests will damage this
surge protective device. Turn off all power
supplying the equipment and isolate the surge
protective device before testing.

5.1 Load center compatibility
All load centers use a 1-inch spacing and are rated for
single-phase, three-wire, 120/240VAC systems.
All circuit breakers are plug-in style.
6 Installation
1. Disconnect power to the load center.
2. Remove the screws securing the front cover to the load
center and remove the cover.
3. The VAL-SQ NP… requires two adjacent mounting
spaces. For the most efficient operation, select two
spaces as close to the main circuit breaker as possible
and remove the blanks in the front panel.
4. Install the VAL-SQ NP… in the selected location.
Ensure that it is properly seated with good contact to the
bus bar.
5. Route the white wire from the VAL-SQ NP… to the
neutral bar. Keep the wire as short and straight as
possible. Strip 1/2 in. insulation and secure to the
neutral bar.
6. Re-install the front cover with the hardware previously
removed. Ensure that the VAL-SQ NP… extends
through the panel and the plug is fully accessible.
7. Re-apply power to the load center.
8. Verify that both LEDs are on, indicating protection is
active.
7 Maintenance
If the surge protection plug reaches its end of life, one or
both of the LEDs will be off, and the VAL-SQ NP… plug
must be replaced.
A removal tool is included with each replacement plug.
1. Disconnect power to the load center with the main
disconnect switch.
2. Firmly grasp the faulty plug and pull it straight from the
base.
3. Align the replacement plug using the keyed slots (it will
only go in one way) and insert it into the base.

End of life for a surge protective device may occur
due to a single high-level surge or repeated low-
level surges. Either way, when one or both of the
LEDs do not light, the plug must be replaced.
